(28,836 posts)1. The Bloomberg effect?
Mike seems to have really riled him up. BB isn't on my favorites list, but I approve of what he's doing to Trump.
Also, Trump's circling the wagons post-impeachment, including bringing back former staff, probably so they don't/can't go public and/or write books.

Couple this with Rachel's show last night, and it's clear a slo-mo coup (of-sorts) is underway.
